This 'patriot' protesting against immigrants in Manchester is actually Irish far right thug Paul Rock, who got eight years for tying up and robbing a 76 year old woman. But yeah, just concerned parents.

First the BBC, now Sky News. It appears that some viewers are now coming down with a serious case of 'Reform Fatigue'.

Researchers have set a new efficiency world record for converting sunlight into electricity using transparent solar cells.
The breakthrough is a huge boost for renewable energy, allowing entire skyscrapers to serve as power stations by transforming their windows into solar panels.

With rescue efforts ongoing, the number of victims in Ukraine's city of Sumy as a result of the Russian strike yesterday has increased to 99 — Deputy Mayor Kuznetsov
Russians have just bombed a crowded school with a ballistic missile, leaving around 74 victims, many children.
This is Russian culture in its purest form, wherever Russians are allowed to go, this is what they do.

I’m just curious Pam, did you feel this adamant about the rule of law when your orange overlord released the actual January 6th ‘domestic terrorists’? 🤔
And since we’re on the subject of ‘days of committing crimes are over’, perhaps you should do your job & arrest the criminal in our White House!

When MP's lose their jobs they keep getting paid for 6 months (the Conservatives increased it from 3 months before they lost).
I think in order to help them back into work as soon as possible we need to reduce it to 0 months.

Farage faces formal complaint over donations from rightwing US PR firm | Good Law Project
The globetrotting MP for Clacton has been taking advice from a former spokesperson for the far-right agitator Steve Bannon, but he hasn’t declared it as a benefit. So we’ve complained to parliament.
